Fragmentation of the mammalian Golgi apparatus during mitosis requires the phosphorylation of a specific subset of Golgi-associated proteins. We have used a biochemical approach to characterize these proteins and report here the identification of golgin-84 as a novel mitotic target. Using cryoelectron microscopy we could localize golgin-84 to the cis-Golgi network and found that it is enriched on tubules emanating from the lateral edges of, and often connecting, Golgi stacks. Golgin-84 binds to active rab1 but not cis-Golgi matrix proteins. Overexpression or depletion of golgin-84 results in fragmentation of the Golgi ribbon. Strikingly, the Golgi ribbon is converted into mini-stacks constituting only ∼25% of the volume of a normal Golgi apparatus upon golgin-84 depletion. These mini-stacks are able to carry out protein transport, though with reduced efficiency compared with a normal Golgi apparatus. Our results suggest that golgin-84 plays a key role in the assembly and maintenance of the Golgi ribbon in mammalian cells.

SNARE proteins are known to play a role in regulating intracellular protein transport between donor and target membranes. This docking and fusion process involves the interaction of specific vesicle-SNAREs (e.g. VAMP) with specific cognate target-SNAREs (e.g. syntaxin and SNAP-23). Using human SNAP-23 as the bait in a yeast two-hybrid screen of a human B-lymphocyte cDNA library, we have identified the 287-amino-acid SNARE protein syntaxin 11. Like other syntaxin family members, syntaxin 11 binds to the SNARE proteins VAMP and SNAP-23 in vitro and also exists in a complex with SNAP-23 in transfected HeLa cells and in native human B lymphocytes. Unlike other syntaxin family members, no obvious transmembrane domain is present in syntaxin 11. Nevertheless, syntaxin 11 is predominantly membrane-associated and colocalizes with the mannose 6-phosphate receptor on late endosomes and the trans-Golgi network. These data suggest that syntaxin 11 is a SNARE that acts to regulate protein transport between late endosomes and the trans-Golgi network in mammalian cells.

Golgi Ribbon

The mammalian GRASPs (Golgi reassembly stacking proteins) GRASP65 and GRASP55 were first discovered more than a decade ago as factors involved in the stacking of Golgi cisternae. Since then, orthologues have been identified in many different organisms and GRASPs have been assigned new roles that may seem disconnected. In vitro, GRASPs have been shown to have the biochemical properties of Golgi stacking factors, but the jury is still out as to whether they act as such in vivo. In mammalian cells, GRASP65 and GRASP55 are required for formation of the Golgi ribbon, a structure which is fragmented in mitosis owing to the phosphorylation of a number of serine and threonine residues situated in its C-terminus. Golgi ribbon unlinking is in turn shown to be part of a mitotic checkpoint. GRASP65 also seems to be the key target of signalling events leading to re-orientation of the Golgi during cell migration and its breakdown during apoptosis. Interestingly, the Golgi ribbon is not a feature of lower eukaryotes, yet a GRASP homologue is present in the genome of Encephalitozoon cuniculi, suggesting they have other roles. GRASPs have no identified function in bulk anterograde protein transport along the secretory pathway, but some cargo-specific trafficking roles for GRASPs have been discovered. Furthermore, GRASP orthologues have recently been shown to mediate the unconventional secretion of the cytoplasmic proteins AcbA/Acb1, in both Dictyostelium discoideum and yeast, and the Golgi bypass of a number of transmembrane proteins during Drosophila development. In the present paper, we review the multiple roles of GRASPs.

The yeast transport GTPase Ypt6p is dispensable for cell growth and secretion, but its lack results in temperature sensitivity and missorting of vacuolar carboxypeptidase Y. We previously identified four yeast genes (SYS1, 2, 3, and 5) that on high expression suppressed these phenotypic alterations.SYS3 encodes a 105-kDa protein with a predicted high α-helical content. It is related to a variety of mammalian Golgi-associated proteins and to the yeast Uso1p, an essential protein involved in docking of endoplasmic reticulum–derived vesicles to thecis-Golgi. Like Uso1p, Sys3p is predominatly cytosolic. According to gel chromatographic, two-hybrid, and chemical cross-linking analyses, Sys3p forms dimers and larger protein complexes. Its loss of function results in partial missorting of carboxypeptidase Y. Double disruptions of SYS3and YPT6 lead to a significant growth inhibition of the mutant cells, to a massive accumulation of 40- to 50-nm vesicles, to an aggravation of vacuolar protein missorting, and to a defect in α-pheromone processing apparently attributable to a perturbation of protease Kex2p cycling between the Golgi and a post-Golgi compartment. The results of this study suggest that Sys3p, like Ypt6p, acts in vesicular transport (presumably at a vesicle-docking stage) between an endosomal compartment and the most distal Golgi compartment.

Membrane traffic between the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and Golgi apparatus and through the Golgi apparatus is a highly regulated process controlled by members of the rab GTPase family. The GTP form of rab1 regulates ER to Golgi transport by interaction with the vesicle tethering factor p115 and the cis-Golgi matrix protein GM130, also part of a complex with GRASP65 important for the organization of cis-Golgi cisternae. Here, we find that a novel coiled-coil protein golgin-45 interacts with the medial-Golgi matrix protein GRASP55 and the GTP form of rab2 but not other Golgi rab proteins. Depletion of golgin-45 disrupts the Golgi apparatus and causes a block in secretory protein transport. These results demonstrate that GRASP55 and golgin-45 form a rab2 effector complex on medial-Golgi essential for normal protein transport and Golgi structure.

The hemagglutinin (HA) of influenza virus has been used as a model system to study the biosynthesis and intracellular transport of integral membrane proteins in mammalian cells. To investigate the role of protein structure in facilitating transport along the secretory pathway, we have examined the expression in monkey CV-1 cells of a large number of mutant HA molecules. The majority of the HA mutants do not progress along the secretory pathway and accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and we have shown that assembly of newly-synthesized HA monomers into correctly folded trimeric structures is required for transport of the protein to the Golgi apparatus. By contrast, only one HA mutant has beegn characterized whose transport is blocked at a post-Golgi stage of the pathway and thus little is known about the factors involved in the sorting of the HA molecule from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane (PM). In this study we are using electron microscopy to precisely define the intracellular site of accumulation of two mutant HAs whose transport is blocked at different stages of the secretory pathway. In mutant HAJS67, a cysteine residue (cys67) involved in a key disulfide bond has been substituted by a serine residue. In mutant HA164, the 10 amino acid cytoplasmic tail of the wild-type HA has been replaced by a non-homologous sequence of 16 amino acids. Biochemical and immunof1uoresence analyses have indicated that HAJS67 molecules remain in the ER compartment while HA164 is largely confined to a post-Golgi compartment, possibly the trans Golgi network (TGN).

Phospholipase D (PLD) hydrolyzes phosphatidylcholine to generate phosphatidic acid, a molecule known to have multiple physiological roles, including release of nascent secretory vesicles from thetrans-Golgi network. In mammalian cells two forms of the enzyme, PLD1 and PLD2, have been described. We recently demonstrated that PLD1 is localized to the Golgi apparatus, nuclei, and to a lesser extent, plasma membrane. Due to its low abundance, the intracellular localization of PLD2 has been characterized only indirectly through overexpression of chimeric proteins. Using antibodies specific to PLD2, together with immunofluorescence microscopy, herein we demonstrate that a significant fraction of endogenous PLD2 localized to the perinuclear Golgi region and was also distributed throughout cells in dense cytoplasmic puncta; a fraction of which colocalized with caveolin-1 and the plasma membrane. On treatment with brefeldin A, PLD2 translocated into the nucleus in a manner similar to PLD1, suggesting a potential role in nuclear signaling. Most significantly, cryoimmunogold electron microscopy demonstrated that in pituitary GH3 cells >90% of PLD2 present in the Golgi apparatus was localized to cisternal rims and peri-Golgi vesicles exclusively. The data are consistent with a model whereby PLD2 plays a role in Golgi vesicular transport.

Golgi Organization

The organization of the Golgi apparatus is essential for cell polarization and its maintenance. The polarity regulator PAR complex (PAR3, PAR6, and aPKC) plays critical roles in several processes of cell polarization. However, how the PAR complex participates in regulating the organization of the Golgi remains largely unknown. Here we demonstrate the functional cross-talk of the PAR complex with CLASP2, which is a microtubule plus-end–tracking protein and is involved in organizing the Golgi ribbon. CLASP2 directly interacted with PAR3 and was phosphorylated by aPKC. In epithelial cells, knockdown of either PAR3 or aPKC induced the aberrant accumulation of CLASP2 at the trans-Golgi network (TGN) concomitantly with disruption of the Golgi ribbon organization. The expression of a CLASP2 mutant that inhibited the PAR3-CLASP2 interaction disrupted the organization of the Golgi ribbon. CLASP2 is known to localize to the TGN through its interaction with the TGN protein GCC185. This interaction was inhibited by the aPKC-mediated phosphorylation of CLASP2. Furthermore, the nonphosphorylatable mutant enhanced the colocalization of CLASP2 with GCC185, thereby perturbing the Golgi organization. On the basis of these observations, we propose that PAR3 and aPKC control the organization of the Golgi through CLASP2 phosphorylation.

Late endosomes and the Golgi complex maintain their cellular localizations by virtue of interactions with the microtubule-based cytoskeleton. We study the transport of mannose 6-phosphate receptors from late endosomes to the trans-Golgi network in vitro. We show here that this process is facilitated by microtubules and the microtubule-based motor cytoplasmic dynein; transport is inhibited by excess recombinant dynamitin or purified microtubule-associated proteins. Mapmodulin, a protein that interacts with the microtubule-associated proteins MAP2, MAP4, and tau, stimulates the microtubule- and dynein-dependent localization of Golgi complexes in semi-intact Chinese hamster ovary cells. The present study shows that mapmodulin also stimulates the initial rate with which mannose 6-phosphate receptors are transported from late endosomes to thetrans-Golgi network in vitro. These findings represent the first indication that mapmodulin can stimulate a vesicle transport process, and they support a model in which the microtubule-based cytoskeleton enhances the efficiency of vesicle transport between membrane-bound compartments in mammalian cells.

And Function

The Golgi apparatus consists of a series of flattened cisternal membranes that are aligned in parallel to form stacks. Cytosolic-oriented Golgi-associated proteins have been identified that may coordinate or maintain the Golgi architecture. Here, we describe a novel GPI-anchored protein, Golgi-resident GPI-anchored protein (GREG) that has a brefeldin A-sensitive Golgi localization. GREG resides in the Golgi lumen as a cis-oriented homodimer, due to strong interactions between coiled-coil regions in the C termini. Dimerization of GREG as well as its Golgi localization depends on a unique tandem repeat sequence within the coiled-coil region. RNA-mediated interference of GREG expression or expression of GREG mutants reveals an essential role for GREG in maintenance of the Golgi integrity. Under these conditions, secretion of the vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein protein as a marker for protein transport along the secretory pathway is inhibited, suggesting a loss of Golgi function as well. These results imply the involvement of a luminal protein in Golgi structure and function.
